Tacrolimus Treatment for Refractory Autoimmune Cytopenia
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Tacrolimus binds FKBP12 with high affinity after entry into cytoplasm, suppresses calcineurin activity and prevents nuclear translocation of transcription factors such as NF-AT that are involved in IL-2 gene transcription. As a result, T-cell activation is inhibited with a subsequent reduction in the production of cytokines that include IL-2, TNF-α, IL-3, IL-4, IFN-γ, IL-6 and IL-10; B-cell activation, class-switching and immunoglobulin production are also attenuated. Reports on the use of tarcrolimus in the treatment of autoimmune cytopenia are anecdotal and describe therapy with a variety of drug dosages.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of tacrolimus on patients with refractory autoimmune cytopenia, the side-effects will be documented and plasma concentration of tacrolimus will be monitor.
